German foreign intelligence chief forced out
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. April 26, 2016, 11:37 PM (IDT)
The head of Germany's BND foreign intelligence agency Gerhard Schindler is being pushed out of his job, government sources said on Tuesday. It is a surprise move that comes at a time when Germany faces a growing threat from Islamic militants.
It was not immediately clear why Schindler, who has led Germany's central Intelligence Agency since 2012, was being suddenly removed by Chancellor Angela Merkel. .
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
